Does anyone know why I would have to sign for my package? The ticket they left me said I have to sign for it, I guess that's why they didn't just leave it for me.

I have received 4 Bags of Crap. Two of them I signed for, two I didn't. I'm not sure why.

Thanks. I'm glad I could help the great citizens of Gotham City in some way. ;^)

If you don't report the weight of your Big o' Cosmos when reporting its contents, I will come to your house and steal your cat.

No, I'm just joking. But, seriously, would it kill you?

Another copy/paste.....

no texas air
1-strawberry reusable bag
1-Knight Flight Batman
1-Pink laptop cooler
1-Pet Zoom set with 3 brushes
and.....

A full sized Day Planner and a power cable for something I didn't receive.

Oh well, so much for 3 iPads!

Maybe it's mattw783's AC adapter for his Chumby?

Ugh, my bag just lost some weight on a new scan.

Went from 7.1 lbs from first scan, and now it's down to 6.3 lbs.


Dimensions also changed. Originally was listed as 13" cubed. It is now 24.2 in. x 12.7 in. x 12.7 in.

My bag gained weight! from 4.9 to 5.2.
It is still scheduled for the 24th and it is finally in NJ. If lucky it could arrive tomorrow.

On my first bag, I guess somebody in the post office wanted to look productive to their supervisor and posted that it was delivered 1 day before it arrived. Which prompted me to freak out, thought it got stolen or delivered to the wrong address.

As a hitchhiker, somebody help me out. Once tracking says that a package has arrived at a FedEx SmartPost Facility in your town, how long are you looking at for your package to arrive? Mine made it to the facility last Friday(5/20) and it's status hasn't changed since. I know it has to be transferred to the post office, but hoping I might get it tomorrow. Just wanted to know if your wisdom might either keep me from waiting at the door all day or justify it. FYI, my Big o' Cosmos's weight is 3.3lbs and I haven't seen a lot of the smaller ones posted so far -- sad it looks like I'm not getting a Batman copter, but hope I get something interesting. Thanks in advance.

It's a TARDIS. You'll get it three years ago.

Mine got to Houston on the 20th and hung out for a while. It left Houston today (22nd) and should be in Austin in time for a Monday??? delivery. So, sometimes it'll hang out in the SmartPost facility for a while.

I've always received it within a couple of days of hitting the SmartPost facility. This time, I'm not so sure, mostly because we had a lot of tornadoes near the facility.

This has happened to me before, in my case the fedex system never updated, I just received my package the day it was supposed to get here.

1-strawberry reusable bag
1-Knight Flight Batman
1-gray laptop cooler
1-Pet Zoom set with 3 brushes
and.....

A Linksys "Certified Refurbished" DSL router w/ 4-port switch. A blue post-it note attached to the Linksys CD helpful says "Not Working"!

All this for 6.5 lbs

Congrats on the quality post Stumpy!! You deserve it and more. My border collie, Isis, has had a ball chasing Batman as he flies around the living room keeping us safe from ridiculous riddles and jamashish jokes.

Estimated delivery on May 25

weight listed as 10.9 lbs

Now that Stumpy has solved the non-charging Batman problem, anybody got a fix for the non-charging Motor Trend LED multi-function emergency hazard, flashlight, and area light with built-in usb power port thing that I would really like to be able to take on camping trips? It will not charge in the house via 110 volt or in the car via 12 volt. Sadness is slowly enveloping my need for portable light and usb power.

Stumpy, how about a shot at another quality post?

looks like i also received the basic list

- strawberry bag
- knight flight batman (my son is in love with woot now)
- set of pet Zoom brushes (my neighbor and her dog love woot now)
- Philips surge protector
- Heatshift laptop cooler

BUT, my laptop cooler was busted and leaking gel and ooze all over the place. anybody else have that issue? i've emailed woot, but crap is crap, so i'm not expecting much.

cant wait for the next Big o' Cosmos!

This may be an ignorant question but why do people keep mentioning the bag of texas air? whats so good about it?

Gained a tenth of a pound, up to 4.0
14.4 in. x 10.3 in. x 8.7 in.

Est Delivery Friday.. C'mon smartpost, speed it up!

The bags of Texas air are a kind of over-sized bubble wrap intended to cushion the contents of your box of carubundum. They can also be used as a pillow or a device to scare the crap out of someone by stomping on them thus causing them to explode loudly. Oh, and what is good about them is the fact that they contain the best smelling air in all of airdom, Texas air.

if you puncture it, and drink the sweet sweet texas air, you will either turn into an Austin Hipster, a Dallas Cowboy, or A Texarkana hick(I've never been to Texarkana, but i like saying the city name.)

Give it a try and report back

I guess the entire western half of the state doesn't exist? I know it's a lot of wide-open nuthin', but the state doesn't end in Austin.

P.S. For who ever was taking cats, I have three you can have.....I think they are plotting to take over the world.

An update to my Crap. One of my coworkers scored a BoC with a shirt.woot T-List Awards coffee cup in it. I managed to talk him out of it without promising away my soul or (un)born children.

Pics will have to wait until after lunch since I do not have my phone with me.

I'm in the same boat...can't login to myFedex since last Friday! I'm supposed to be delivered tomorrow and my package is still 1.0 lbs.

The short answer is: 1 to 5 days depending on how busy your post office is. The long answer can be found in the last section of my SmartPost primer

Got mine (no photo):

- Flying batman
- Laptop cooler
- Pet brushes
- Strawberry bag

I got the standard of:

1 - Knight Flight Batman
1 - Heatshift Laptop Cooler
1 - Pet Zoom brushes
1 - Strawberry Bag

Plus one standard USB Seal Shield keyboard... hoping to use it on my Wii

Thanks WOOT! for another WONDERFUL Big o' Cosmos!

I also got the standard of:

1 reusable strawberry bag
1 hot pink laptop cooler
1 Knight Flight Batman
1 3-pack of PetZoom brushes, I have a dog so this works out well

and

1 IRIScan portable light compact USB scanner. The box was open, and the scanner itself was wrapped in brown paper and has a return address sticker. So, Robert from CA, it appears I received your scanner!

6.4 lbs, due 5/24, 24.1 x 12.6 x 12.3

I was amazed to see just how quickly mine got to Charlotte (2 days!! express lane, all the way, fastest yet) and since the wee hours of Saturday morning, it's "Departed FedEx Location" with the shipping info sent to the PO....in Winston-Salem, about 90 minutes away....I was hopeful for delivery today....maybe it will happen so, and the USPS info just hasn't caught up yet?

Mine is due tomorrow, but I can't open it until Thursday.

...must...resist....reading posts...

Seems like everyone is getting the same thing. Also thought you use to get 3 items per Big o' Cosmos. So shouldnt we be getting 9 items?

Got my Big o' Cosmos today.

Pkg: 5.8lbs

Mine consisted of

1 - Heatshift Laptop cooler
1 - Knight Flight Batman
1 - Pkg Pet Zoom brushes
1 - Personal Wifi Hotspot
1 - Strawberry Reusable Bag

if 1 Big o' Cosmos = 1Bag + 3Craps, then 1 Big o' Cosmos = 9 craps

that math seems right to me too.

You also used to have to order 3 instead of just ordering 1.

But, it's used to be one crap for each item ordered plus a bag. Now, it's 3 craps for each order (with a max quantity of 1). So, anything above 3 is still lagniappe.

I'm not reading anyone's posts until my 24.3" x 12.6" x 12.2" 6.2lbs. Big o' Cosmos arrives. It just left Grove City, Ohio early this morning. Should be here in a day or two. Just thought I'd update y'all. :o)

6.3 lbs. No air bags or other packing materials whatsoever.
Contents:
1 - Knight Flight Batman

5.2 lbs:
